(Jerusalem Post) An anti-Israel protest at a Los Angeles synagogue on Sunday devolved into brawls, the spraying of counter-protesters and journalists with bear mace, and vandalism of Jewish institutions, according to eyewitnesses and pro-Palestinian groups.
The demonstrations at Adas Torah synagogue in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood were organized by Palestinian Youth Movement LA and Code Pink LA against an Israeli real estate event.
Anti-Israel activist groups and Jewish community members accused one another of starting the violence, sharing videos on social media of the opposing side engaged in fisticuffs. Videos shared by Jewish community members showed Jews being beaten on the ground by members of an anti-Israel mob.
